Description for Heating Versus Cooling in Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies
Hardback. Covers a topical conference on the interplay between heating and cooling processes in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. This book documents progress in our understanding of the dense central regions of these objects. Editor(s): Pratt, Gabriel W.; Bohringer, Hans; Finoguenov, Alexis A.; Schucker, Peter. Series: ESO Astrophysics Symposia. Num Pages: 445 pages, 7 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 767.
The Universe would be a dull and dark place if the gaseous baryons did not cool, collapse, and form stars and galaxies. However, if this gas is allowed to cool unimpeded at the rate predicted from known atomic physics, in the context of a well-established cosmological model, the gaseous matter would form stars and galaxies with a high e?ciency, so that far more than the observed fraction of about 10–15% of the baryonic matter would be found in luminous stellar systems. Therefore,cooling must be damped or regulatedby heating processes, and observations show that this ‘feedback’ is a widespread astrophysical phenomenon. ... Read more
